December, 2007 – The first camper and expedition camp was held at 24 mile kuching. our chaplain, Rev.Mok was the invited speaker of the camp.
One of the purpose of this camp is let these “city” boys to experience the real “forest life” where there were no stove for cooking, no toilet, no bathroom, no other things that they can found at home. whatever they need, they need to do it themselves.
They need to build their own tent, build their own toilet, cook for themselve and etc. on the 1st nite, the boys were surprisingly served with wild deer meat. this is 1st time the deer were bbq in front of them.
This is a toilet that build by boys, imagine all of our boys do their “business” in this toilet” and bathing in the river.
After settle down all the camping stuff, expedition is another major activities of this camp, Lt.Tommy, were the leader of this expedition. He bring around our boys for this jungle trekking expedition. Boys need to bring along their own parang to find their direction out.
This expedition was never easy, across small hills, bushes, and some more, there’s some small river they need to cross. apart from that, boys were taught some survival skills during this expedition. Get to know some natural plants, or some fruits that never saw before. They were taught how to differentiate the fruits, plants and what are safe to be eat while the miss in the jungle.
Survival skills is another very interesting topic and experience they learned in this camp. i believe all of them enjoy the camp much as these “city” boys never experienced before.
We hope there will be another interesting camp as this in coming year 2008.
